Solid State Communications
Solid State Communications also welcomes full length original research articlesSolid State Communications publishes short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science and materials physics, that emphasis original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of not only solids but also other condensed systems.The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged.A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental and/or theoretical data.Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Original research articles have no length restrictions.(Visit the Guide for Authors for more detailed information.)The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science and materials physics. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.Keywords: condensed matter physics, materials physics, materials chemistry, materials science, electronic properties and devices, magnetism, superconductivity, microstructures, nanostructures

Surface Science Reports
A Review JournalSurface Science Reports contains invited review papers on experimental and theoretical studies in the physics, chemistry and pioneering applications of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures. It covers topics which contribute to a better understanding of basic phenomena occurring on surfaces and interfaces, but also the application of this knowledge to the development of materials, processes and devices. "Surfaces" is defined in this journal to include all interfaces between solids, liquids, polymers, biomaterials, nanostructures, soft matter, gases and/or vacuum. The journal also contains reviews of experimental techniques and methods used to characterize surfaces and surface processes, e.g. those based upon the interactions of photons, electrons and ions with surfaces.

Physics Reports
A Review Section of Physics LettersThe journal Physics Reports publishes timely reviews which are more extensive than just literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Each report deals with one specific subject and is generally published in a separate volume. These reviews are specialist in nature but contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist. The reader will not only be able to distinguish important developments and trends in physics but will also find a sufficient number of references to the original literature.Starting in 2025, Physics Reports will inaugurate a new "Rapid Reviews” section. Rapid Reviews are intended to be shorter reviews, which can be completed more quickly (on order three months) than regular reviews, on exciting new subjects. They are intended to reach a broader audience but go into less technical detail than a regular Physics Reports review. The target length is on order 20 pages (as opposed to regular reviews, which are intended to be more than 50 journal pages) and the reviews are intended to allow more in the way of editorializing than regular articles, which are intended to be more balanced, complete, and pedagogical. We aim to publish one such Rapid Review per month.The topics covered by the journal include but are not limited to:Astrophysics and Cosmology,Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics,Biological Physics,Condensed Matter Physics,High Energy Physics,Nanoscience,... Dynamics and Complex Systems,Nuclear Physics and Hadronic Physics,Plasma Physics,Statistical Physics.Submission of articles to Physics Reports is by invitation only; unsolicited submissions cannot be accepted. Should you feel that you have a topic suitable for publication in one of the sections in this journal, please contact our Editorial Office physrep-eo@elsevier.... , with a proposal of no more than 1000 words. You must specify which Editor should review your proposal (see Editorial Board).

Acta Materialia
Published on behalf of Acta Materialia, Inc.Acta Materialia provides a forum for publishing full-length, original papers and commissioned overviews, and feature articles that advance the understanding of the relationship between the processing, the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. Acta Materialia prioritizes papers that significantly move the field forward, advancing the thinking in the field and providing mechanistic processing-structure... connections. Explorations of such connections by experiment, computation, theory, data science, and machine learning are all welcome; studies that connect across theory, computation, and experiment through mechanistic means are especially relevant.Materials structure at all scales is of interest, from electronic, atomic, and molecular arrangements to microstructural elements, including crystal defects, polycrystalline and polyphase structures, and spanning to macrostructures formed by processing that impact properties and performance. The connection of these structural features to all kinds of properties is of interest, including mechanical and functional properties, thermodynamics and kinetics, phase transformations, etc.Short communications and comments to papers published in Acta Materialia may be submitted to Scripta Materialia.Manuscrip... about materials that fall outside the scope of Acta Materialia or Scripta Materialia may be submitted to Materialia, which is part of the Acta Materialia family of journals.
